Angles Formed by Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Foldable for Geometry or Middle School Math

I've taught angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal in geometry and in my on-grade level 8th grade classes. Students generally catch on without much trouble, but there are often a few students who have trouble matching the vocabulary to the diagram.

Here's a foldable I'm going to use with my students in Algebra I and Intermediate Algebra this year to practice the vocabulary prior to our state testing next month. (Eep! Next month is March already?) Our students need to know corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles. I generally include same side interior and same side exterior for means of comparison and because they're going to need them for geometry anyway, so it makes sense to introduce the vocabulary at the same time.

Would you like to use this with your class? Download the PDF here and enjoy. Let me know how it works with your students.
